ONE YEAR AGO: LE BRISTOL


If you've been reading my blog since Day 1, you'll know how much I love Paulo Coelho. In his novel The Zahir, the protagonist and his wife would meet up at Hôtel Le Bristol for hot chocolate and catching up after one of them arrives home from a trip abroad. He wrote about it so beautifully that after passing it during our city stroll, I had to go and see for myself (not to mention I'm a sucker for hot chocolate).

"I reach the Hôtel Bristol, which Esther always described as one of the few hotels in Paris where customers are treated like guests rather than homeless people in search of shelter. I am greeted as if I were a friend of the family; I choose a table next to an exquisite clock; I listen to the piano and look out at the garden." - The Zahir

The hotel didn't disappoint! The service was impeccable and the place was just overflowing with charm and chic. No wonder it's a regarded as one of, if not the top hotel in Paris. Seriously looking forward to the day I have hot chocolate in the room instead of the lobby. ;p
